"Dong dong dong!" The examiner tapped his knuckles on the table impatiently.
His voice echoed in the examination room, "Hurry up! Why are you dawdling?"
"You're the only one left! The time is almost up!"
Long Zhanye turned a deaf ear to his urging, and moved his wrist steadily, making the final finishing touches.
The three Shen Ce people outside the window did not leave either.
They held their breath and watched this scene, feeling unspeakably nervous.
Finally.
Just before the examiner announced that the time was up, Long Zhanye stopped.
He gently blew away the debris on the metal surface and held the Core Array "engraved" with wire in the palm of his hand.
He walked up to the examiner and handed over his work calmly.
The examiner had been waiting impatiently for a long time and did not even take a closer look.
He took it casually and habitually wanted to throw it into the metal basket marked "waste" next to it--
These self-financed works were rubbish in his eyes.
However.
The moment he took it off, he seemed to see the unusual Soul Power luster and texture on the Core Array out of the corner of his eye.
His movements suddenly stopped!
He retracted his hand, raised the metal block to his eyes, and looked at it carefully.
It was careless at first.
Then his eyes slowly opened wide, and the impatience on his face was replaced by shock.
It became unbelievable.
He repeatedly looked at the magic circle in his hand, and then suddenly raised his head to look at the boy with a childish face in front of him.
His mouth opened slightly, but no words came out for a long time.
"This... how is this possible?" the examiner muttered to himself.
His fingers touched the clear lines on the magic circle with some trembling.
"Soul Power has no obstruction, the line accuracy is up to standard, and the energy circuit is stable..."
"This, this has exceeded the complexity of the standard level one Core Array!"
"This is clearly... the prototype of 'Energy-Gathering Conduction Array' that can be stably carved by Level 2 Soul Engineer!"
The three Shen Ce people outside the window also noticed the examiner's abnormality.
They looked at each other with huge doubts in their hearts: What happened?
Long Zhanye Wait quietly.
He spoke again, his voice clear. "Examiner, please tell me, did I pass the examination?"
The examiner suddenly recovered from his shock when he asked this question.
A warm smile suddenly appeared on his face that was completely different from before, and even a bit attentive.
"I passed it! Of course I passed it!!"
"It's more than just passed! Young man, just wait, I'll go get your badge right now!"
"I'm afraid the level one is not suitable. With your level, just get the level two!"
He held the Core Array as if he was holding some treasure, and hurried out of the examination room with a look of panic and excitement.
Long Zhanye's keen spirit Divine Power vaguely caught the examiner at the corner of the corridor in the distance, lowering his voice.
He reported to someone excitedly and with a little trepidation -
Listen to that voice, it is Xu Mochen.
The conversation between the two was vague, but the surprise and surprise in their emotions were real.
Not long after.
The examiner came back with a well-made silver badge engraved with two stars in his hand.
He solemnly pinned the Level 2 Soul Master Badge to Long Zhanye's chest and patted him hard on the shoulder.
He smiled broadly, "Congratulations! Student Long Zhanye!"
"You directly passed the Level 2 Soul Engineer assessment with excellent results! It's really..."
"It's amazing!"
At almost the same time, Xu Mochen also came over.
The expression on his face was quite complicated, including surprise, calculation, and a hint of annoyance at having his plans disrupted.
But that expression was quickly covered up by him and replaced with an expression of false appreciation.
He walked up to Long Zhanye and glanced at the brand new second-level badge.
He laughed dryly and said, "Good boy, I really belong to you!"
"I keep my word and will never break my promise. Bring your... that Soul Tool, and I will fix it for you now."
Long Zhanye looked at Xu Mochen's unpredictable face and sneered in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all.
He suppressed all his dissatisfaction and disgust and took out the silver-gray coffin from Storage Belt.
He offered it with both hands, and his tone was even deliberately a little respectful:
"Thank you, sir. I'm done."
When the badge with two silver stars flashing on Long Zhanye's chest came into view.
Shen Ce, An Lengye and Fei Yuyan froze in place instantly.
Their pupils shrank suddenly, and their faces were filled with unbelievable shock.
They are elites carefully cultivated by the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.
At the same time, he is also a leader who comes to exchange and learn on behalf of the Dou Ling Empire.
Over the past nearly six months.
They put in countless sweat and efforts and went through two tests before they obtained Level 1 Soul Master Badge.
This speed.
In their college and even among the Dou Ling Empire's peers, he has been hailed as a rare genius, and he is proud of himself.
But now.
Their roommate is at least two or three years younger than them.
Not even an academic background.
The young man who had never received a day's systematic soul guidance course actually took it in just one month.
One month!
In an assessment where even Engraving Knife was deducted, he directly received the second-level badge!
This impact is too huge.
They feel proud of their long-term efforts.
And that sense of superiority as an elite in the academy was ruthlessly and severely trampled on by reality at this moment.
The air seemed to be frozen, and none of the three people spoke.
They just stared at the badge blankly, with complex and unspeakable emotions surging in their hearts...
When Long Zhanye returned to the dormitory, the atmosphere was completely different from before.
Shen Ce The three of them no longer have the same mentality of looking down at "newborn calves" or "poor little brothers".
After a short period of silence and psychological adjustment.
Shen Ce was the first to break the silence, with a slightly stiff but sincere smile on his face.
He walked up and patted Long Zhanye on the shoulder. "Congratulations!"
"Brother Zhanye, I really didn't expect... you gave us a big surprise!"
"Level 2 badge, awesome!"
Fei Yuyan also came to his senses, and the surprise in his eyes turned into unabashed admiration.
She cheered. "It's so strong! One month! How did you do it?"
"Use wire? Oh my God, no one would believe me!"
"Congratulations!"
Even An Lengye, who has always been cold and talkative, now has his sights set on Long Zhanye.
She once sensed that Soul Power's Long Zhanye's cultivation was quite good, perhaps even higher than hers.
But she believed that Soul Power cultivation and Soul Tool production were two different things, so she didn't care at first.
But at this moment.
Witnessing this miraculous leap with her own eyes, the pride of genius in her heart was completely touched.
followed by the surge.
It is a kind of recognition and sincere admiration for the truly strong.
She looked at Long Zhanye, with a rare emotion in her cold eyes. "Congratulations. You... are amazing."
Faced with the 180-degree change in attitude of the roommates and sincere congratulations.
Long Zhanye thanked them all, but I didn't feel very proud.
There is only a sense of relief and happiness.
He was finally able to temporarily relieve the heavy pressure and lie on the bed.
There is only one thought running through my mind at this moment:
The coffin... is finally hopefully repaired.
Xu Mochen promised.
His mood was more relaxed than ever before, as if the strings that had been tense for days had finally relaxed, and a deep sleep was coming...
